Ecco la nimph’Ebrayca chiamata - lively Renaissance madrigal - YouTube concert video

Promise of spring
The Stairwell Carollers, from Ottawa Ontario, Canada, sing "Ecco la nimph’Ebrayca chiamata" by Roland de Lassus (also known as Orlande de Lassus, Orlando di Lasso, 1530 - 1594), a Franco-Flemish composer from the late Renaissance.

This song is so much fun to sing because of its lively bouncy nature, but the meaning of the lyrics is best left to antiquity.

"Ecco la nimph’Ebrayca chiamata" is on our madrigal CD, "Audite Nova". Buy our CDs and help Ottawa and Hull area charities!

Audio: Tom Barnes. Recorded at St. Barnabas Church, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, May 31st, 2014.
Videographers: Gert-Jan van Heuzen, Kevin Millington.
